    Pure motives in serving

    Years ago the Lord pointed out that my motives for serving was to win the approval of people and not out of a pure heart. This was very painful but I'm SO thankful He did that. I now check my motives to make sure I'm doing it for the right reasons.

    In a Rut

    Spirit Reborn, Yes! I think I have a little bit of a perfectionist problem that keeps me from jumping in. I just need to start somewhere and stop overthinking things so much. There's this mental hurdle that I just can't seem to get over.

    In a Rut

    Hidden, I think too, when I started to homeschool my boys I let part of myself go. I put everything I had into homeschooling and didn’t do much for me. It’s been incredibly difficult to tap back in to my creative side. I’ve had so many great ideas floating around in my head but, you’re...

    Day #1 Hatching my Quail Eggs

    I'm so sorry they did not make it. I'm learning so much from you and I'm thankful that you are going to give it another try. My hubby said no to chickens so I'm going to ask if we can have quail, but first, I need to learn more so that I can inform him of the benefits. Thank you for listing...

    Battling 13 years of Acne - Last ounce of hope

    I can't imagine how frustrated you must be! When my 16 year old son turned 15, his acne was getting pretty bad. I honestly do not know how or why we tried this but his complexion did improve. I had him start taking zinc (ask your dr. first if its okay) and he started GENTLY washing his face...

    Husband and his female friend

    It's now an unspoken rule between my husband and I. I think it's the way Andy puts it, just makes sense! We enjoy listening to and watching both Charles Stanley and Andy's sermons. Our teenage boys can relate to Andy more :)
